《Am I really though? (Sanderssides HumanAU)》Twelve: Logan
Advertisement
Logan got up and looked at his phone. It was almost 6am. He sighed and then flicked through the messages freezing when he read one from Remus. He clicked on the conversation and immediately got up and grabbed Patton's keys. He froze in place when he heard someone behind him.
"Where are you off to so early Lo?" Patton asked sleepily. Logan turned to look at him.
"I just need to breathe for a bit...I was going to just go for a walk." Logan looked at the Keys. "These were so I can unlock the door when I got back..."
"Okay, be safe Lo." Patton walked back into his room. Logan got out to car and read the text over.
Logan took a deep breathe. He was going to regret this.
He got the reply not even a few seconds later with the address. Logan drove there, it took about an hour and sighed as he got out. He knocked on the door and Remus opened it pulling him into a hug.
"Aww yay you actually came!" He pulled Logan into the house. Logan immediately bolted towards Virgil who had a blindfold over his eyes, his hands and feet tied to a chair and headphones covering his ears. He pulled the headphones off and then removed the blindfold. Virgil shook his head as tears flowed down his cheeks.
"No..please..." Logan helped Virgil from the ropes.
"Virgil are you alright?" Logan asked. Virgil shook his head and held him tighter.
"I need to go food shopping, watch the little rugrat for me." Remus walked out of the house.
"Logan you shouldn't be here..." Virgil was shaking.
"Why are you so afraid of having me here? at least I can protect you from him." Logan moved Virgils hair from his eyes.

"He'll hurt you again...h-he-."
"I came willingly Virgil." Logan pulled away from Virgil. "I didn't want you to be hurt, he threatened you." Logan showed Virgil the texts. Virgil started to cry.
"I can't...you came because he threatened me? He already kidnapped me and he adopted me! There's nothing worse he could do..." Virgil looked down.
"I can think of several worse things he could do to you Virgil but I'm going to keep that quiet..." Virgil shook his head.
"He-he wouldn't do that." Virgil shook his head. "There's no way in hell he would..."
"Yes, but even if he would...I'm here now so he can't." Virgil shook his head.
"Logan I don't want you to get hurt anymore!" Virgil cried.
"And I do not wish for you to be hurt." Logan sat down with Virgil. "The others don't know where you are, and I can't tell them or he'll hurt both of us. I'd rather stay..I will not let him touch you. I will not let him near you when I say go to your room, you go and lock your doors immediately Virgil." Logan pulled him into a hug again.
"Logan....where do the others think you are right now?" Virgil asked. Logan smiled sadly.
"On a walk..." Logan laughed. "Patton is sometimes super gullible."
"You have to go back to them you can't just stay here with me Logan...he can end up kidnapping everyone else again." Virgil looked at Logan sadly. "And I don't want it to be my fault again."
"Virgil, I'm not just going to leave you alone with him! I don't know what he wants with you but it's not good..it's never good when it's Remus..." Logan took a look at Virgils arms and sighed. "Those ropes were way too tight come here..." Logan dragged Virgil to the bathroom and started to take the medical supplies out.

"Logan...aren't you scared of him?" Virgil asked. Logan laughed slightly.
"I can handle him Virgil, that I promise you." Logan continues to clean the cuts. Suddenly Virgil held his hand.
"That doesn't answer my question." He looked Virgil in the eyes and bit his lip as he put some of the medical supplies away.
"I'm an adult Virgil, I can handle the situation." Logan looked away sadly.
"Again, not answering my question." Virgil grumbled.
"Yes, I'm terrified." Logan continued putting everything away but Virgil grabbed his hand.
"Then why do you keep trying to protect me? He's hurt me yes, but he keeps hurting you more." Virgil held tightly to Logan's hand. "He's going to ra-."
"Virgil stop it." Logan looked at him sadly. "I love that you are so protective over me, but it's not going to work. I will not let him hurt you."
"You think I'm just going to sit back and let him take you away from me again? Logan that's absolutely horrible! I don't want to let him take you away knowing he's about to fuck-." Logan covered Virgils mouth.
"Okay, first of all breathe." Logan shook his head and wiped tears from his eyes and pulled away from Virgil. "Second of all, we've been over this. Him hurting me is better than him hurting you. You are still a child and the impact he makes on you now will stay with you for as long as you live. For me it won't stay with me for long I can easily choose to forget it ever happened with some therapy here and there I'll be fine in no time."
"That is not how that works Logan and you know it!" Virgil cried.
"Virgil, just stop. Stop trying to get me to leave you alone with him because I won't. I refuse." Logan looked away. He picked up the first aid kit and put it away then turned to face Virgil. "After letting you stay in his class for this long after how abusive he was as a teacher...I refuse to let you stay here alone knowing damn well how he will be as a parent."
"But-."
"Uh-Uh. Nope. No buts." Logan shook his head. "You will not stay alone with him. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere." They sat down on the couch and Logan pulled Virgil into a hug. Virgil leaned into Logan's chest and closed his eyes.
"Thank you Logan." He slowly drifted off to sleep. Logan smiled.
"Your welcome, Virgil." Logan whispered.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
